Push #notifications now available for #Calckey#iOS users using the #PWA.
If you update to iOS 16.4 and "add to home screen", that version (called a PWA) will have full notifications and background/offline support!
For those with the PWA already added, you may need to go into Settings> Notifications> and enable push notifications.
I was just prompted that a PWA was available for kbin. I now have it installed, really great to see this. IMO it is a great stopgap until native apps are available.
"Open Letter to Tim Cook, Sabotaging Web Apps Is Indefensible
We write to express our concern at Apple’s decision to remove Web Apps (PWAs) from iOS and Safari in the European Union (EU), and to avail ourselves of our rights under the Digital Markets Act (DMA)."
If someone's added a web app to their iOS home screen, does anyone know a way to send that person a link which opens in that installed web app, rather than in a browser tab?
So, what exactly did Apple break in the EU 🇪🇺? A new blog post in which I analyze the current situation for Home Screen Web Apps on iOS 17.4 in the European Union.
Can we make a global effort to kill version hell once and for all?
I want a world where you create software with zero maintenance. Only updates are caused by new insights on how to improve the user experience.
Perhaps the web-app (#PWA) can deliver on this dream. But I'm weary that browsers will also keep updating API's so a web-app created today won't run 10 years later.
I have mixed feelings about PWAs. They're the best way to get an app on a user's device right now (no app stores!) but the hoops you have to jump through...
Ciąg dalszy akcji Apple z PWA, czyli aplikacjami webowymi, których nie musisz instalować przez sklep:
Jednak przywrócą, ale:
Tylko w browserach na WebKit.
Czyli wprowadzili kozę, że nikt nie będzie miał, i wyprowadzili kozę, że WebKit/Safari będzie mieć.
Nikt już nie pamięta, że oczekiwane przez prawo UE miało być zarówno dopuszczenie innych niż WebKit silników renderujących, jak i dopuszczenie innych browserów do PWA.
Apple chce utrzymać monopol sklepu za wszelką cenę. Tu nie chodzi o technologię, a o marketing.
P.S. Nie daję linka do źródła, bo powiela idiotyczne tezy i ściemę Apple. Ale fakty są takie, jakie są. PWA jako apka z ikoną i powiadomieniami TYLKO na Safari/WebKit...
Bonjour Masdodon,
J'ai une question aux experts du développement web.
J'ai une appli qui gère ma liste de disques. Jusque là tout va bien. Pour mieux la gérer, j'ai imprimé des étiquettes avec QR Code, pour chaque disque, avec un code unique, que j'ai collé au dos des pochettes de disques. Pour aller plus vite et me passer d'une appli de scan de QR Codes, j'ai simplement développé dans mon appli de gestion de disques, une page qui fait ce taf. J'ai juste une zone pour scanner les étiquettes et ça fait la mise à jour dans la base de données. Maintenant, je voudrais transformer cette page en #PWA.
Des recommandations pour faire un truc rapide et simple ?
Magenta Musik is an entertainment service -part of the German telecom company - offering information about concerts and festivals. In 2022, Magenta Musik shut down their native apps on both #iOS and #Android and replaced them with a single Progressive Web App (PWA). #PWA#Web
Oooh, #GraphiteEditor has the node graph functionality, which allows you to compose vector objects from the primitives like fill, stroke, transform and live filters in a visual manner!
Node graph interface and filters both give me this nice break-out I needed after LPEs in #Inkscape. Don't get me wrong: that program is THE legend, developers are masters of vectors, and it's purely native Gtk toolkit on which application is built. Right now, their priority is CMYK support, so follow if you're into printing.
I just love to experiment with shiny new software that's #OpenSource, especially one that uses #RustLang and #web to its advantage.
Watch 'em apply circular repeat filter on a mere line to produce this fun sparkle effect. (It is Graphite's official channel, by the way. Wish they were on Mastodon?)
Ich erkläre #Apples Entfernen von #PWA (Progressive Web Apps) in der EU mal kurz, damit alle die bösartige Strategie verstehen: Sie begründen das mit enormen technischen Umbauten, die nötig wären, um PWAs von Drittbrowsern auf iOS zu integrieren. Zu den Drittbrowsern (mit eigenen Engines) wurden sie von der EU verdonnert. Über PWAs wurde da nie gesprochen, Apple erfindet sich das Argument zum eigenen Nutzen, nämlich:
Zwar werden jetzt alternative Appstores erlaubt (müssen 1 Mio. Bürgschaft …
Magento, a company based in Berlin offering hosting and e-commerce platform, posted a video illustrating to their EU customers the significant impact of removing PWA support in iOS 17.4 on their services.
On the #mastodon#pwa, on mobile, how do you read the #alttext on an image? I see the little [ALT] button at the bottom of the image, but tapping it just expands the image and long tapping opens a context menu.
Anyone else having issues using the #mastodon#pwa app with #firefox on #android ? With Chrome it works fine, but with Firefox it keeps crashing, freezing and restarting. I'd prefer not to use Chrome, as I don't otherwise.
Don't understand why people are so angry about Apple turning off PWAs in iOS.
iDevices are proprietary, closed ecosystems. Apple decides what runs on it and any tech-savvy user buying Apple hardware knew that from the beginning.
"How outrageous they do that!". No, it's not. It's the nature of proprietary software and hardware. But you can change that any time. Vote with your pocket.
What’s a good #Sharkey client on #iOS? It almost seemed like I was able to log into my instance on #IceCubes but it kept just pushing me back after the consent release. The #PWA works really, really well though and is actually better looking vs #Firefish.
